5 KETTMEIR THE PEARL OF ALTO ADIGE Our story FOR ALMOST A CENTURY, Kettmeir has been a part of the storied history of the Alto Adige wine region. Founded by Giuseppe Kettmeir in 1919 at the end of the First World War, our Caldaro winery has traversed the revolutions of the twentieth century to achieve considerable accomplishments. Considered one of the region's pioneers, we were one of the first wineries to export internationally, adopt modern winemaking methods such as low-temperature skin contact during fermentation, as well as introduce and promote bottle wine sales over cask. KETT MEIR KETTMEIR KETTMEIR OUR WINERY MAINTAINS a very close relationship with the surrounding natural, economic and social environment of the region, which allows us to maintain our standards of high quality and achieve the best expression of the vineyards. As customary in Alto Adige, wineries purchase fruit from local farm cooperatives, or "Masos". Our close partnership with local grape-growers has spanned generations, enabling us to work together with these farms to ensure our strict quality standards are met, as well as preserve their legacy. PRODUCED IN SINGLE VARIETAL bottlings; Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco and Muller Thurgau, our wines embody the very best of the DOC. T erroir and typicity are words commonly used to describe a winery's offerings, to provide a reference point. For Kettmeir, however, they are much more than an abstract idea. Producing the highest quality, varietal-driven wines that embody the best of the region is the absolute essence of our work, and the vision upon which we were founded.
